There have been some splashy arrests and sentences, like this one. Not nearly enough though. This guy's big mistake was impersonating an ATF...
In the example in your last post, the grade, cert# and barcode aren't centered either.
The barcode matches the coin#, grade, and cert#, and it verifies. Seems like a lot of work to put an ostensibly real coin into a faked but...
Roger Burdette says there was no discussion about changing the dollar in 1890/91 and he has nothing in his database. It could be from a medal or...
I can't find anything on an 1891 pattern dollar nor anything with that design on any denomination for 1891, and not on any other years I looked at...
Minor correction - William Barber was the father and Charles was the son.
There's two 19/20 threads with the same coin. Every they couldn't keep track of it. Just more scrolling to do I guess.
Contemporary counterfeit, probably passed down from a Civil War veteran ancestor George Emory Logue. He named his son Ulysses Sheridan (U.S.)...

Next round do it backwards like the drunk test.
Beautiful. Did this coin circulate? I don't think I've seen a Thai coin with the king wearing a suit before.
I'd fill in some row gaps - the 3c, half dimes, nickels and dimes, so the denominations/rows are complete. Just because then I'd have a full row,...
100% fake. Easy way to tell - download a free QR reader. The barcode has the PCGS coin#, grade, and cert# in it. This barcode matches an 1893-S...
Multiple kinds of fraud too. And the platform is providing "substantial assistance". The difficulty with prosecution, as I see it, is intent, i.e....
My grandmother's genealogy hints at one reason. Her grandfather's great-grandfather came here from Ireland some time in the mid-late 1700s, angry...
This goes back a few years, but the store owner talked to my brother so long about pocket watches that I figured I'd buy something, and I didn't...
It's just factors of 2. So three generations ago, great-grandparents, is 2^3=8. 38 generations back to William the Conqueror is 2^38, which equals...
I just use this cheap thing. I don't know where I got it or even what the magnification is. The main lens lets me see the whole coin and the...
Actually, a fit human can outrun a deer if given 3-4 hours. We evolved for endurance and the deer for sprinting. In fact, over long distances a...
Many collectors aren't aware of these. There were two reverse designs in 1892, because the original issue didn't stack properly, and Barber rushed...
Separate names with a comma.
